FL S0618

Creates section 934.255 of Florida Statutes to establish procedures for law enforcement to issue subpoenas in investigations of child sexual abuse and certain crimes listed in section 943.0435(1)(h)1.a.(I).

Authorizes subpoenas to compel production of records, documents, and testimony, and allows subpoenas to electronic communication service providers for subscriber/customer information and contents of communications stored more than 180 days.

Permits nondisclosure of subpoena existence for 180 days (extendable by 90 days) if a supervisory official certifies that disclosure may endanger safety, aid flight from prosecution, destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses, or jeopardize the investigation.

Requires law enforcement to serve notice on subscribers/customers upon expiration of nondisclosure periods, stating the nature of the inquiry and that their information was disclosed to authorities.

Protects electronic service providers from civil liability for disclosing information in compliance with subpoenas and requires reasonable compensation for assistance; authorizes courts to compel compliance and punish non-compliance as indirect criminal contempt.
